This bike from kawasaki is a gem of a bike, ultra smooth engine, very good brakes, highly reliable. I wish kawasaki would have given LED indicators & Upside down fork.

Congratulations!! I am considering it as an upgrade from my current Hornet 2.0. How is the riding comfort for long rides (500KM)? I have done 400+ kms/day trips many times and am looking for something more powerful and want to avoid the wind blast. I mostly drive on highways and mildly bad roads sometimes.

0:35 Bikewale keeps shut when R3 is sold. But they dont want Ninja 300 on sale ? Talk about bias lol... Both are 300cc twin cylinders...yet the Ninja gets the flak. Apart from features, the Ninja 300 doesn't lag behind on anything. Its a fantastic sports tourer, has a giant fuel tank and admirable fuel economy, commendable top speed and reasonably tractable in city and u save atleast 1.3 lakhs over and above the R3. What more u want ? Srsly

Comparison video with Aprilla457 needed...

A day ago I visited both showroom rs Aprilia and ninja 500. Rs aprilia turning radius is very very bad you hand will touch with tank everytime whenever u will take u turn. Too much engine noise. Riding posture is better in ninja. Look wise Aprilia is far far ahead then ninja.

Only way this will sell is when it will start 4.5 exshw. Still the italian is miles ahead in terms of looks, accessories & features.

the truth is, kawaski don't want to go local. if they wanted they could have done it long time back. but they don't consider India worthy of their bikes. that's y they just focusing on liter bikes so that they can get bulk profit by selling less units also.

That applies to all bike manufacturers.

Kawasaki, like other Japanese OEMs, acts like they're doing us a favor by launching their bikes in India. European OEMs are taking advantage of Japan's hubris.

Kawasaki at least sells most of its international line up in India unlike the other Japanese bikes. However it's the Indian government taxes which is the problem. They don't want to take the risk in a difficult market like India. There are other bigger markets where they can spend their money

Ask the government and its criminal taxation on CBU units.. Kawasaki w800 is on par with interceptor on price front in UK..but here W800 was 8.9lacs..

@DayumSonny

@@Originalrebelosho The taxation laws are to protect the Indian OEMs. Cause without them, Japanese and European OEMs will flood the Indian motorcycle market with so many good products that Indian companies will lose their market share. It's basically a version of what the US govt did to protect Harley Davidson from bankruptcy and being dominated by UJM products.

Going for interceptor OR CONTINENTAL GT is best

​@@sinner_raNope! I have the Z650 which has the same seat as the Ninja 650. It's absolutely horrible. The older Ninja 650 was better but the new one with the step up seat is bad. The Ninja 1000 is a lot better as the bike size is huge.

Just need to replace this with a adv body. Will sell like hotcakes.

I don't agree that the Ninja 300 should be discontinued as mentioned in the video. 300 cc is good enough for any Indian road. If it's a good motorcycle, then why discontinue it?

@@pinakisutar4814 Err India has BS6 OBD 2 norms which are among the most strict in the world. So yes India has very very strict norms which has caused many bikes to be dead without an update. In fact the NX500 is not available in India because of emission norms issues. The Ninja 500 isn't a bike that is going to sell well in India so it makes no sense to launch the higher end version as well. Might as well get the much more powerful Ninja 650 instead of the Ninja 500 SE variant which is almost a lakh more expensive than the normal variant.
